Due to an issue (which has been fixed in the previous commit), all tasks
in the database were deleted when starting Flamenco. This tool attempts
to recompile the job and recreate its tasks.
The statuses of the tasks are set based on the job status. Basically:
- job active → tasks queued
- job completed → tasks completed
- job cancelled / failed → tasks cancelled
- otherwise → tasks queued
To ensure that the tool is only used to create tasks from scratch, it
refuses to work on a job that still has tasks in the database.
As it was decided that the name "tags" would be better for the clarity
of the feature, all files and code named "cluster" or "worker cluster"
have been removed and replaced with "tag" and "worker tag". This is only
a name change, no other features were touched.
This addresses part of #104204.

As a note to anyone who already ran a pre-release version of Flamenco
and configured some worker clusters, with the help of an SQLite client
you can migrate the clusters to tags. First build Flamenco Manager and
start it, to create the new database schema. Then run these SQL queries
via an sqlite commandline client:
```sql
insert into worker_tags
(id, created_at, updated_at, uuid, name, description)
select id, created_at, updated_at, uuid, name, description
from worker_clusters;
insert into worker_tag_membership (worker_tag_id, worker_id)
select worker_cluster_id, worker_id from worker_cluster_membership;
```
The Shaman Checkout ID setter shouldn't update a job's "updated at"
timestamp. Its goal is to fake that the job was submitted with a new
enough Flamenco version, and thus should not touch the timestamps.
This is a command that can be run to retroactively set the Shaman
Checkout ID of jobs, allowing the job deletion to also remove the job's
Shaman checkout directory.
This is highly experimental, and not built by default or shipped with
Flamenco releases. It's only been used once at Blender Animation Studio
to help cleaning up. Run at your own risk. Make backups first.
- Add a little confirmation overlay before deleting a job. This overlay
also shows information about whether the Shaman checkout directory
will be deleted or not.
- Send job updates to the web frontend when jobs are marked for
deletion, and when they are actually deleted.
- Respond to those updates, and handle some corner cases where job info
is missing (because it just got deleted).
This closes T99401.
Implement the `deleteJob` API endpoint. Calling this endpoint will mark
the job as "deletion requested", after which it's queued for actual
deletion. This makes the API response fast, even when there is a lot of
work to do in the background.
A new background service "job deleter" keeps track of the queue of such
jobs, and performs the actual deletion. It removes:
- Shaman checkout for the job (but see below)
- Manager-local files of the job (task logs, last-rendered images)
- The job itself
The removal is done in the above order, so the job is only removed from the
database if the rest of the removal was succesful.
Shaman checkouts are only removed if the job was submitted with Flamenco
version 3.2. Earlier versions did not record enough information to reliably
do this.
If Shaman is used to submit the job files, store the job's checkout ID
(i.e. the path relative to the checkout root) in the database. This will
make it possible in the future to remove the Shaman checkout along with
the job itself.
The priority of an existing can now be changed. It will be taken into
account when assigning tasks to workers, but it will not reassign tasks
that are already active.
Workers can now be soft-deleted. Tasks assigned to the worker will remain
associated with that Worker. Active tasks will be re-queued so other
workers can pick them up.
Be more selective in what's saved to the database to speed some things up.
Most importantly, this avoids saving the entire job when a task status is
updated or a task is assigned.
When a job or task gets requeued from the web interface, its task
failure lists (i.e. the list of workers that previously failed this
task) will be cleared.
This clearing doesn't happen in other situations, e.g. when a worker
signs off and its task gets requeued, the task's failure list will
remain as-is.
The persistence layer can now store which worker failed which task, as
preparation for a blocklisting system. Such a system should be able to
determine whether there are still any workers left to do the work.
This is needed for a future unit test, and exposed the fact that SQLite
didn't enforce foreign key constraints (and thus also didn't handle
on-delete-cascade attributes). This has been fixed in the previous commit.
When creating tasks the inter-task dependencies are saved as a 2nd pass,by
updating the tasks in the database. This now only saves those dependencies,
and no longer saves the entire task again.
`persistence.Model` contains the common database fields for most model
structs. It is a copy of `gorm.Model`, but without the `DeletedAt`
field (which triggers Gorm's soft deletion).
Soft deletion is not used by Flamenco. If it ever becomes necessary to
support soft-deletion, see https://gorm.io/docs/delete.html#Soft-Delete
Tasks that are in state `active` but haven't been 'touched' by a Worker
for 10 minutes or longer will transition to state `failed`.
In the future, it might be better to move the decision about which state
is suitable to the Task State Machine service, so that it can be smarter
and take the history of the task into account. Going to `soft-failed`
first might be a nice touch.
Send & handle `JobUpdate.refresh_tasks = true` when many tasks are
updated simultaneously. This applies to things like cancelling &
requeueing an entire job.
This partially rolls back 67bf77de13d99b1bc5d7344951068822c4fadd88, as
it was too slow when 1000+ tasks were being updated all at once.
Check for jobs in 'cancel-requested' or 'requeued' statuses, and ensure
they transition to the right status. This happens at startup, before
even starting the web interface, so that a consistent state is presented.
When the job status changes, it impacts the task statuses as well. These
status changes are now no longer done with a single database query, but
instead each affected task is fetched, changed, and saved. This unifies
the regular & mass updates to the tasks, and causes the resulting task
changes to be broadcast to SocketIO clients.
To prepare for job status changes being requestable from the API, store
the reason for any status change on the job itself.
Not yet part of the API, just on the persistence layer.
Avoid users of the persistence layer to have to test against Gorm errors,
by wrapping job/task errors in a new `PersistenceError` struct.
Instead of testing for `gorm.ErrRecordNotFound`, code can now test for
`persistence.ErrJobNotFound` or `persistence.ErrTaskNotFound`.
The add-on code was copy-pasted from other addons and used the GPL v2
license, whereas by accident the LICENSE text file had the GNU "Affero" GPL
license v3 (instead of regular GPL v3).
This is now all streamlined, and all code is licensed as "GPL v3 or later".
Furthermore, the code comments just show a SPDX License Identifier
instead of an entire license block.
Instead of returning an error "error doing X", just return "doing X". The
fact that it's returned as an error object says enough about that it's
an error.
This also makes it easier to chain error messages, without seeing the
word "error" in every part of the chain.
Where the PostgreSQL DB migration code could handle `NOT NULL` columns just
fine, SQLite has less table-altering functionality. As a result, migrations
have to copy entire database tables, which doesn't play well with
not-nullable columns.
Some parts of Flamenco had a Command consist of "name + settings", and
other parts used "type + parameters" (with the same semantics). This is
now unified to "name + parameters".
